ERC Mission

The Educational Resources Collection (ERC) provides resources and services to students in the undergraduate and graduate teacher preparation programs at Merrimack College as well as student outreach volunteers, alumni and professional educators. Located on the third floor of the McQuade Library, this active learning center consists of instructional materials for curriculum planning, lesson preparation, unit development and assessment for students in PreK-12. In addition to the instructional resources the ERC has children’s and young adult literature, bi-lingual and special education materials, math manipulatives, and language/reading kits. A television viewing station and computers are available to view the educational VHS tapes, DVDs and CD ROMS.
